Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I assume it’s going through a window and not upside Neiman’s head. Even if he maybe kind of deserves it.

I’m really excited to see where this leads. There’s still the whole Linus story going on and knowing what he knows now, can Malachi trust Neiman in the wild?
How do you solve Neiman? Find him a new obsession? Maybe he could obsessively look for feral cats.

I think, probably, Malachi had a complete escape plan worked out before he started to try talking Neiman into untying him, but being untied changes everything and he may not now know what he wants to do. He could freeze for a bit trying to decide, and Neiman, obsessed with the game, 'has to' wait for "Neiman" to do something before he can make "Malachi" do something. It's unlikely but possible that they could spend the whole next comic 'stuck' and doing nothing at all. And then we cut to Linus and the others....

Maximally unlikely scenario: That happens and we never come back to the camp office, at all, until the comic ends. The very last panel of the last strip - decades from now - shows the camp office with the skeletons of Malachi and Neiman, who never did move, positioned just like panel 4.
(mwa-ha-ha-ha!) ;-}}

The notion of using this as a teachable moment to make Neiman understand that what he's doing is wrong would work, except Neiman seems to fully understand that it's wrong, he just doesn't care. Or, I might be overthinking it. I would love for Neiman to get healthy again in this cartoonish way, even if in reality someone like him most likely needs real medicine and not "epiphany medicine", this is fiction, where epiphanies are currency.
